The inclusion of these resources breaks a lot of code (e.g. > virtually everything that relies on Xalan or Xerces). The ones in particular I'd like to remove (for now) are: META-INF/services/javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory META-INF/services/javax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory META-INF/services/javax.xml.parsers.TransformerFactory META-INF/services/org.xml.sax.driver I've confirmed that JDK 1.6 includes none of these and the corresponding factory methods[1] in GNU Classpath still work without these. Regards, Jeroen [1] The ones I tried are: javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance() javax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory.newInstance() javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory.newInstance() org.xml.sax.helpers.XMLReaderFactory.createXMLReader()
